Line 2:
* Anytime we see how loyal Jeeves really is, or how much awe Bertie has for him.
* The end of ''The Inimitable Jeeves'', the first book in the Jeeves canon, perfectly establishes the emotional relationship between Bertie Wooster and his brilliant manservant. After one of Jeeves' schemes has left some third party under the impression that Bertie is insane for the ''millionth time that book'', Bertie trudges home furiously with the intention of firing Jeeves. He storms in the front door and stops, suddenly overwhelmed by the ''atmosphere of comfort that Jeeves brings to his life''. When Jeeves enters, Bertie tries to push through anyway, but just can't bring himself to out of sheer sentimentality.
{{quote| ''I buzzed into the flat like an east wind...and there was the box of cigarettes on the small table and the illustrated weekly papers on the big table and my slippers on the floor, and every dashed thing so bally ''right'', if you know what I mean, that I started calm down in the first two seconds. It was like one of those moments in a play where the chappie, about to steep himself in crime, suddenly hears the soft, appealing strains of the old melody he learned at his mother's knee. Softened, I mean to say. That's the word I want. I was softened. And then through the doorway there shimmered good old Jeeves in the wake of a tray full of the necessary ingredients, and there was something about the mere look of the man...''}}
** I would like to concur that I found that particular scene, as Jeeves might put it, "distinctly moving". To the point where [[Tear Jerker|I almost broke down crying]], even though I was reading the thing aloud to a friend.
* In the whole series, there is only one story narrated by Jeeves himself ("Bertie Changes His Mind"), which gives us some interesting insight into his motivations. Despite his plans this time aiming to keep Bertie from wanting children so as not to disrupt their "[[Ho Yay|cosy bachelor establishment]]", he doesn't do it without some degree of remorse. When Bertie runs up to him in a panic and Jeeves informs him that the car has malfunctioned thus denying him an escape...
{{quote| '''Jeeves:''' (narrating) I am fond of Mr. Wooster, and I admit I came very near to melting as I looked at his face. He was staring at me in a sort of dumb despair that would have touched anybody.}}
* The ''entire second half'' of ''Thank You, Jeeves''. Where to even begin?
** {{spoiler|Bertie and Sir Roderick Glossop do the "[[Enemy Mine]]" thing and find out that they have more in common than they thought. Pretty soon they're inviting each other over for lunch!}}
Line 13:
* Near the end of ''The Code of the Woosters'', when Aunt Dahlia offers to sacrifice her cook Anatole to save Bertie from thirty days in the clink. Also subsequently, when {{spoiler|Bertie turns her down}}.
* A subtle one at the end of the fourth episode of the second season: Jeeves comments that he has returned to Bertie due to both Chuffy and Mr Stoker failing to meet the requirements for him to be employed by them - with the implication that ''Bertie'' does meet his high standards.
* Bertie, quoting [[Alexander Pope]], referring to Jeeves as his "guide, philosopher, and friend.''
